Arihara Shuhei Sensei returns to his hometown because his father, the director of local hospital suddenly collapse. Before the old man passed, he asked Shuhei to revives the family business, Arihara Hospital. It's a lot of stake considering Shuhei is a prominent medical researcher in Tokyo. But, he realizes this hospital is significantly needed by people.








Shuhei takes the director position and creates some reforms. These new methods are not easy to implemented. He had to deal with resistance employees, to the point of resignation. On the other side, the hospital still have to pay the debt and in verge of being sold by the creditor. The bank lends Arihara Hospital their loan manager, Kurashima Ryosuke. He cooperates with the director to choose visible plan to raise the hospital from deficit.

This is based on true story of Aizawa Hospital in Matsumoto City, Nagano, a hospital in crisis faces bankruptcy due to mismanagement and overwhelming debt. I must say this is more like a dramatic documentary. While a lot of medical drama focus on patient's story, this corners about human resources management.

Hospitals are like other organisations. They need to be managed professionally. But, unlike business offices, hospitals should not chasing profit only and abandoning the soul of helping people. Instead, giving the best service is the key to get income. It means hospitals should not merely rely only medical skills, but also to social skill. Arihara tries to stimulate a trustworthy place that make patient feeling secure. 

Most doctors are the worst people in making people feeling secured. They always talk from above thinking they know better. Sometimes, it's just they don't have communication skills. Doctors often make people felt disrespect. That's why this profession needs assistance, such as nurses, clerks, or even security to communicate.

My medical personnel friend used to say that patients are presumed poor knowledge, that's why doctors or medics treat them as inferior. I have a theory about this. When you think yourself better than anyone, you can't take critics. For example when people criticise how doctors treat patients then one doctor twitter handle says, "I hope everyone that criticise doctor would never get sick", but good doctors would reply, "Help us to conquer this".
